“The economies of the UAE and India are among the fastest growing ones, as the non-oil GDP of the UAE economy
grew by five per cent in 2024 compared to that of 2023, while the GDP of the Indian economy achieved a growth of 7.4

per cent in the first three months of 2025. This indicates the growing momentum of economic opportunities in both
markets,” H.E. added.

267,121 Indian companies thriving in UAE markets

H.E. continued: “The hosting of these events reflects the growing importance of the Indian business community as a

vital economic and investment partner for the UAE. Today, over 267,121 Indian companies are actively operating across
diverse sectors in the UAE market. Notably, 22,415 new Indian firms entered the UAE in the first half of 2025, a growth

rate of more than 10 per cent compared to the same period last year. This surge underscores the UAE’s strong appeal as
a global business hub and reaffirms the deep confidence Indian investors place in our economy.”

India: Top source of tourists to the UAE

H.E. pointed out that tourism stands out as a cornerstone of economic collaboration between the two nations. India has

established itself as the UAE’s primary source of tourists, contributing 4.23 million visitors during 2024. The air
connectivity between the countries continues to expand, with over 600 weekly flights operated by carriers from both
nations.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Jean Faris, CEO of Investopia, stated: “Investopia has emerged as a global platform with a

clear vision to shape the future of investment in advanced economic sectors – both regionally and globally. Through its
events and international dialogues, the platform connects ambitious capital with transformative ideas, contributing to the

development of a new economy that fosters sustainable growth and enables cross-border economic and investment
partnerships.”

He added: “The global economy is undergoing profound geopolitical and structural shifts, marked by evolving trade

routes and an accelerating digital transformation. In this context, there is an urgent need to build more resilient and
sustainable economic systems. Against this backdrop, we gather here in Hyderabad and the state of Andhra Pradesh to

leverage the geographic and competitive advantages of both the UAE and India, forging joint visions and innovative
solutions that unlock new opportunities for both business communities.”

Expanding avenues for economic and investment partnerships

In detail, Investopia Global dialogues in Hyderabad City and Andhra Pradesh State featured a series of panel discussions
and roundtable meetings that explored the evolution of cross-border economic and investment partnerships between the

UAE and India, across both public and private sectors. The sessions spotlighted promising opportunities in the two
countries’ markets, particularly within the new economy, infrastructure, technological innovation, sustainable industries,

data centers, and agri-tech.
